SHAVING APPARATUS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 686,003, dated November 5, 1901.

Application filed April 6,1901.

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, ANDREAS MORGENROTH, merchant, residing at Bamberg, Bavaria, Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shaving'Apparatus; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in shaving apparatus, and has for its primary object the provision of novel means whereby a traveler may be equipped with his own personal shaving apparatus ready for instant use, securing to the user cleanliness and the elimination of any danger of contracting skin diseases subject to persons who are compelled to frequent public places for such purposes while touring.

My invention further provides a device of this nature which when not in use can be compactly closed and very conveniently carried in the pocket without the attendance of any danger of the parts becoming disengaged.

With these and other objects in view my invention further consists in the novel details of construction and combination of parts to be clearly described in the following specification and fully set forth in the claim.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this application, and in which like letters of reference indicate similar parts throughout the several views, Figure 1 is a central sectional view of my invention, showing the parts assembled and in their closed position. Fig. 2 is a horizontal sectional view thereof, taken on line X X, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a central vertical sectional View showing the several parts ready for use.

In the practical embodiment of my invention I provide a receptacle or case a, preferably of an oval form. At an intermediate point on the periphery thereof is secured a Serial No. 54,636. (No model.)

sleeve 0, the upperend of which is contracted. This sleeve is substantially of the same contour as the receptacle or case a and has a space between its inner circumference and the periphery of the case for the reception of the brush. 6 is an elongated slot formed in the sleeve 0, extending to a point in close proximity to the lower end and to the shoulder formed by the contracted end of the said sleeve. In the said space between the circumference of the sleeve c and the periphery of case aslides a collar d, to which is secured the bristles 01, extending in alinement with the periphery of said collar. For the purpose of guiding the brush a pin f, having a head on its outer end, operates in said slot and is secured to the collar d. A removable cap g is placed upon the lower end of case a when it is desired to carry the device in the pocket.

In operation cap 9 is removed, the brush drawn out by means of the pin, and the soap withdrawn, from case a, when the device is ready for instant use.

Many changes may be made in the details of construction and combination of parts Without departing from the general spirit and scope of my invention.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and useful, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

In a device of the character described, a case, a slotted sleeve having a contracted end secured to said case, a collar mounted on said case, bristles carried by the collar, a pin secured to said collar and operating in said slot, and a cap, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

ANDREAS MORGENROTII.
